Innovation Podcasts

Tuesday, October 17, marks the first of our Innovating@Sun podcasts, a
kind of funky, edgy, view of what's going on at Sun and why it's
relevant -- to employees, customers, passers-by and anyone else who
can spare 10 minutes of airtime. My simple goal was a rough stylistic
mash-up of
Stephen Colbert, James Governor, and Mark Cuban, without straying
from technical accuracy or overloading the volume compander on our
recording console.

The last time I had this much fun with a microphone was when I was the
voice of Sunday Morning Jazz on WPRB 103.3 FM,
in the mid-80s, and I had a limited but loyal crew of listeners (including
my parents who were sometimes able to pick up the signal with appropriate
hand-holding of the FM antenna). Some of the faithful were
incarcerated in the Trenton state correctional facility, and it seems
their choice of Sunday morning listening was made for them by someone
who liked my show and had popular (or declarative) control over
the dial at that time.

Here's hoping you like the thoughts, whether or not you're forced
to listen to them.
